The Story of TK Hot Retrievers.
What's in a name?
We are often asks what does TK Hot Mean? or How did you come up with that name?
Well TK Hot is an acronym that stands for The Kennel Holds Our Treasures.
Thus, TK Hot.
Our story begins in the 1970's My father and grand father were "True" dog men and instilled in me a intense desire to work with dogs.
I don't know if either one of them knew about the psychological power of raising kids with dogs.
Or how much dogs can teach kids about love, responsibility and respect for creatures.
